Kris Bordessa is loving the fact that her son is enmeshed in costume making. His Halloween appearance as Bane is progressing nicely, with the mask complete and the vest in the works. (He has, however, not begun lifting weights.) The fact that her son needs merely occasional guidance from her instead of full-on design frees Kris up to do things like make kim chee and chase the chickens out of her garden.

This weekend Dakster Sullivan will be attending a future trooper party (aka, baby shower) for one of her friends. He’s super excited to become a dad and she couldn’t be happier for him and his wife. The only question left is, what should the little one’s first costume be?

Chaos Mandy is looking forward to starting her celebration of Halloween early. She will be going treat or tricking with her daughter and their church on Sunday. Both she and her daughter will be dressed as the fairest princess of them all, Snow White.

Laura talked about fracking on Huff Po Live, along with a Shell Oil exec and a climate change denier. She admitted in print that she tends to host strangely amusing parties. And now she’s planning another game of Logic Shrink event before the election, because a living room packed with happily yelling players stirs her reasonable soul. Just another eccentric week.

Kelly Knox is happy to be in her home state of Texas this week. She’ll be venturing to the Austin Comic Con this weekend, where she plans to get a glimpse of Patrick Stewart and the rest of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation up close and personal. This may result in fainting due to sheer awesomeness, but Kelly hopes to stay conscious.

Judy Berna spent the week celebrating her youngest child’s 12th birthday, trying not to let it make her feel old. Since her house is also occupied by three other children between the ages of 16 and 20, she’s having trouble letting the littlest guy grow up. The distraction of a great GeekDad review of her new book helped a lot. She’s also very excited about the post she did announcing a revolutionary new design in prosthetic legs, created by her very own prosthetist.

Rebecca Angel is recovering from last weekend with four concerts (various kids performing in). And now getting ready for the next two weekends of Halloween parties and events. Remember to join in the Munchkin Halloween fun!

Kristen Rutherford is spending quite a bit of time in the Winter Woods this week with her daughter, what with Secret of the Wings finally out on Blu-ray. She just wants to let everyone know that if you wear toddler size wings for too long, you can lose some feeling in your upper arms. But she is committed to playing Periwinkle to her daughter’s Tinker Bell when they dance around the kitchen. Look for her review of the film this week!
